Ubuntu :: Xorg Doesn't Detect Monitor / Won't Display Higher Than 800x600 On A 1400x900 Monitor

Apr 3, 2010

I installed Karmic on an older PC I had laying around, and the only trouble I am having is with screen resolution. It uses an old ATI chipset (onboard) for video, and it doesn't seem to do EDID correctly, so I can't display anything higher than 800x600. I have tried creating an xorg.conf, but it's still not working. How can I tell Xorg to ignore the fact it can't detect a widescreen monitor and display something larger than 800x600? I noticed the log says the sync's are out of range, but I am not sure how to fix it.

Here is my current xorg.conf.

Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

[Code]....

Feb 9, 2011

Okay, so here is the deal I have been using Ubuntu for awhile as a network monitoring system and have now changed it to being my main system and was wondering why when my machine is hooked up to my HDTV via a VGA port on the back of VIZIO television, I am only getting a max resolution of 800x600? If anyone can help me with this problem it would be awesome.Any additional information needed please include you terminal commands because I am still just so terrible with those.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: BenQ E2200HD Monitor - Unable To Configure A Resolution Higher Than 800x600

Mar 6, 2011

I'm currently using ubuntu 10.04 version. I've recently purchased a BenQ E2200HD monitor. However, the monitor is unable to configure a resolution higher than 800x600. I've tried changing it via 'preferences' - 'monitor' etc. The monitor model is 'unknown'. and the highest resolution available is the 800x600.

I've tried changing it manually, but it says x.cong file does not exist. Xrandr doesnt seem to work either. Or i would get CTRC 262. My current set up is, intel i5 2600, 4GB Ram, Nvidia GTS 240. I'm pretty certain, my graphics card (despite being in the low end) can support HD resolution. Even if it can't, it surely can support a resolution higher than 800x600.

Hardware :: Dual Monitor - 2nd Monitor Not Coming Up - Xorg.conf Missing Something?

Oct 19, 2009

This is a repost of my initial problem, I need some one who knows what they are doing more than I too take a look at this command output and give some sort of direction/clue/etc on what I'm doing wrong or missing.

Is my xorg.conf missing some vital line(s) or setting?

My best guess is that i'm missing something to tell the Xserver to use both screens, as the Xorg.0.log does not talk about trying to bring up the intel display; but this is just a hunch.

I'm running kubuntu 9.04 with 2 monitors: on-board intel video and a PCI nvidia display: I am using my nvidia display fine, but still can not get my 2nd display (the intel) working. What the heck am I missing?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Fglrx Doesn't Detect Monitor?

Sep 14, 2010

I'm running 10.04 on a Radeon HD 4650 card with fglrx. The driver installation went without a hitch, and the log file contained no errors.

When I try to run

Code:
aticonfig --initial
i get the response
Code:
Found fglrx primary device section
Unable to find any supported Screen sections
Running

[Code]....

My best guess is that I have to write an Xorg.conf file, in which I say what type of monitor I have.

I cannot do that, as I need to shut down the Xserver in order to make it generate my xorg.conf file. When I shut it down I get the black screen.

Debian Hardware :: 8.0 Doesn't Detect Second Monitor

Apr 7, 2016

Debian Jessie does not detect one of my monitors (I have two) when I use the default drivers (nouveau) for my NVIDIA graphics card. It does work when I install the proprietary drivers, but then, after a couple of reboots, I get many problems (when I log in, it does not manage to load the desktop environment). I've tried this a couple of times unsuccessfully.

How to make the machine recognize the dual screen with the default drivers?

Ubuntu :: Boot Display Doesn't Fill The Monitor Screen?

Jul 15, 2010

I have an Nvidia card and I am using ubuntu 10.04. Before installing the ubuntu nvidia restricted drivers, the boot screen with the ubuntu logo would cover the entire display area of the monitor. But now, after installing the Nvidia driver and fixing the display resolution of the boot screen with the Plymouth fix, the boot screen doesn't expand to fit the entirety of the monitor display area. How can I fix this? There is a good 2 inch off from either side of the display while booting.

Hardware :: Monitor Resolution @ 800x600 After Update

Feb 2, 2009

Here are my stats:

Distro: Kubuntu 8.04
Video: Nvidia 7200 w/ 256mb
RAM: 2gb

What happened: I allowed two weeks to pass before running a full scale update of the kernel, KDE, video driver, and various other apps. The update went through and it prompted for a reboot. Once I did, KDE wouldn't load and it halted.

So I logged in via tty4 and checked out the xorg.conf file. It was really basic and figured I had to reconfigure.. So I ran nvidia-xconfig, then startx. The setting was at 800x600. So I went into nvidia-settings and it said I didn't have a video card with an nvidia gpu.

I copied an old backup xorg.conf and restarted X. Then into nvidia-settings but it wouldn't allow me to set the resolution higher than 800x600. At this point, I began searching forums for fixes. There was mention of envy. So I found it in the repositories and installed it. Still, I couldn't fix the res. So now I'm stuck and asking for assistance. Maybe it is really simple. I just wish I saved my old xorg.conf file before running the update.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: External Monitor Having Resolution Higher Than Native

Jan 2, 2010

I've got a little problem with my 9" netbook. It came preinstalled with Ubuntu (factory install), but I reinstalled it to get a fresh karmic as it was a second hand.The problem is, whenever I plug in an external monitor, rightclick on the display icon and click "Configure Display Settings..." both monitors go black and nothing responds. Weird thing though, is that sometimes the mouse appears on the second monitor. I need a solution for this, either creating a xorg file (I have no clue on how to do that) or some other solution that works.

My netbook resolution is 1024*600, the external monitor resolution is 1024*768. It should be noted that I had a similar problem on another Ubuntu laptop (NVIDIA drivers), but it had to do with the resolution height. My laptop had 1440*900 and my external monitor needed to have the height lower then 900.
For further information, this is what the system profiler says about my graphics card:Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller.I hope you guys can help me, as plugging in a netbook to an external monitor (or TV) is not uncommon to me I like doing that, even if there's no point in it.I hope I gave enough information on this, I'm willing to give more if needed of course

Debian Multimedia :: Cannot Set External Monitor To Higher Resolutions

Jul 8, 2011

I recently got a new external monitor for my laptop, and connected them by VGA. This is what 'xrandr' tells me:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 4096 x 4096
LVDS1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
1280x800 60.0 +
1024x768 60.0 
800x600 60.3 56.2
640x480 59.9
VGA1 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 290mm
1920x1080 60.0 +
1600x1200 60.0
1680x1050 60.0
1280x1024 75.0 60.0
1440x900 75.0 59.9*
1280x960 60.0
1280x800 59.8
1152x864 75.0
1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0
720x400 70.1

However when I try to change to some of the higher resolutions, such as 1920x1080, all I get is a corrupted and flickering image. As indicated above, I am currently on 1440x900@59.9h,z but for some reason 1440x900@75hz doesn't work. The same seems to be true for 1280x1024. The three resolutions above that all cannot be selected properly. I tried setting the resolution to maximum in Windows XP and it worked, and my video games console can set it to 1080p, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the monitor. Is there anything I can do or is this some kind of bug or limitation of the graphics driver or something? The graphics chipset of the laptop is an Intel 945GM, which I believe should be capable of displaying 1920x1080. I am running debian unstable with what seems to be the most up to date version of xserver-xorg-video-intel.

Fedora Installation :: Higher Resolution On I845G With 22" Monitor?

Apr 13, 2009

I have just installed Fedora 10 and all went well except that the resolution is set to 1024x768, which is not cool on a 22" HP w2207h LCD monitor. When I bring up Monitor Resolution Setting the Mirror Screens is checked and 1024x768 is the highest resolution. If I uncheck Mirror Screens and select "Laptop" I am able to select 1680x1050, but it now has my desktop in the upper left hand corner of my monitor. Should I be looking for a driver for my i845G graphics processor?

PS: I am new to using Linux please be patient with my ignorance.

Ubuntu :: Manually Configure Second Monitor For Xorg?

Oct 20, 2010

I just installed the new Ubuntu onto my laptop and want to use a second monitor with it in twinview.

I have to use the Nvidia X Server Settings and while I can get the second monitor working, I cant get any resolutions higher than 1024x768. But I know for a fact that I can get better resolutions as I used to use that monitor as my primary. I had to manually change my xorg.conf tho.

How do I change my xorg for the secondary monitor? if I add a new monitor and screen sections it breaks X and it sends me to teminal on boot.

heres what I tried The stuff I added is in bold:

Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 260.19.06 (buildd@yellow) Mon Oct 4 15:59:51 UTC 2010
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0

Slackware :: TV - MONITOR 26 And Xorg.conf ?

Jun 9, 2011

I bought a very beaultiful pink tv-monitor 26", model LG26LED6500 for my daughter and I also intend to enjoy it setting up in my slackware 13.37. Then I use a VGA cable and 6600GT nvidia card, but now I'm having a doubt because there aren't vertical and horizontal frequencies specs in this manual. Only:

I did a xorg.conf using a vesa driver and kde screen output was a 1024x768 - 61hz.

If I try to use a nvidia driver and xorg.conf piece above X break down. If I use any manual frequency parameters X break down too.

1)What's the difference between CRT config and tv-monitor xorg?

2)Have I use strings modeline monitor and modes screen in this situation?

Ubuntu Servers :: Headless Server Won't Detect Monitor?

Aug 29, 2010

I've got a headless server (32 bit 9.04/9.10, can't remember) that started refusing SSH and HTTP connections a few days ago, and I'm just getting around to hopefully fixing it. The problem is that I can't even connect to the darn thing. I've plugged in a mouse, keyboard, and monitor, but the monitor tells me that it has no signal. I know the monitor works with the computer, as I used the same one to set up the server.

Just for kicks, I even tried to put in a live CD, but that didn't help. Any ideas on how I can connect to this thing?

General :: Xorg Configuration For External Monitor?

Oct 15, 2010

A few days ago I installed browserlinux onto my AspireOne netbook whilst connected to a 15" external monitor of 1024x768 at 60Hz. During installation I ran the Puppy Xorg Wizard with the netbook's monitor (1024x600) switched off. It selected the optimum resolution of my external monitor correctly as 1024x768 and the 'intel' driver for the Intel 945 Express chipset. However when I ran programs and maximised their windows they would cut off about a third from the bottom. I ran the Xorg Resolution Wizard which showed a resolution of 1024x600 despite xorg.conf only showing an option of 1024x768. I tried to copy a xorg.conf from Linpus (Fedora 8) which had required some altering in the past to run the external monitor at the correct resolution but X failed to start (possibly because Xorg in browserlinux is a newer release). Would it be possible for someone to upload a xorg.conf file which would enable display the external monitor at the correct resolution (and ideally allow switching between the two monitors - under Linpus the hotkey is Fn + 4) or suggest alterations to the current file?

Software :: Editing Xorg.conf With No Monitor

My laptop screen isn't working but I don't want to abandon my laptop so I am trying to hook up a new monitor. I'm using my 1 HDMI port, and my BIOS doesn't recognize the monitor on boot up. Also, my xorg.conf file is not configured for this monitor. My question is what should my xorg.conf look like? I have a bit of a start on it(see attached) but it is not quite right. How do I set up the Toshiba as the default screen, in order to use this monitor when Linux starts? Other info: I use Debian 5.0 with Gnome.

Fedora Hardware :: Unable To Detect Monitor

Sep 10, 2010

I run Fedora 13 in Oracle VM VirtualBox. Version 3.2.8 r64453

I did not realize that you had to install Guest Additions but after much reading I finally got it done. After I was done the max size I could go to was 1024x768. Using detect monitors I still get "Unknown" as a result.

I really don't know what else to try as I am not to proficient with the OS. I would like to run it at my monitors native resolution so I can have it on my other monitor. IE: Monitor 1-Vista. Monitor 2- F13

Monitor: Dell 1907FP native resolution. 1280x1024
Video Card: Dual Radeon 4800HD

I thought it might be something with the video card but I can not get the ati drivers to load at all. I have been unsuccessful finding drivers for the monitor.

Ok, so I got really bored and started trying it with other OS's. I installed Ubuntu and after I added the User Additions I was unable to get anything over 1024x768. Fedora is still stuck 1024x768. I also installed XP and it works like a champ.
